Question

Ram works in an office and gets $₹1500$ per month$.$ He saves $₹120$ per month$.$ Find the ratio of his saving to his pay$.$

Answer 1

Step $1:$ To find out the ratio of saving to pay

Given Ram's earning per month $=$$₹1500$

Ram's saving per month $=$$₹120$

Step $2:$ Now find the ratio

Required Ratio $=$$₹120$ $:$ $₹1500$

Step $3:$ Convert the ratio into fraction into its simplest form

$₹120$ $:$ $₹1500$ can be written as

$=\frac{120}{1500},$ divide the numerator and denominator by $10$

$=\frac{12}{150}$ $,$ now divide the numerator and denominator by $6$

$=\frac{12/6}{150/6}$

$=\frac{2}{25}$

Hence, the ratio of saving to pay is $2:25$
